If I let them use the bathroom, they might find the
catnip stash I've got hidden in there.
They're so cute when they're little. And then you
must eat them. |
What makes Nigel so mean?
When we
first got Nigel, we set up a comfortable
room for him in our house, a small dressing
room attached to the guest bathroom. Nigel
soon figured out that he could open the
bathroom door by wedging his paw into the
crack and pushing it open. Once in there, he
would go to the roll of toilet paper and
shred every bit of it. This happened every
week, despite our efforts to keep him out.
Whenever my boyfriend,
our guests or I head towards Nigel's beloved
bathroom, he'll race towards that person as
fast as he can and barrel into their legs,
tripping and scratching the offender. He
does this every chance he can get. He
also makes it a habit to perch behind our
guests' heads and swat at their loose hairs,
scratching them in the process. He
tricks people by rolling over sweetly and
meowing, pretending he wants his belly
rubbed, then scratching and biting the
person when they do so.
Nigel has plentiful
access to food and water, but he must have
kitty treats every morning around nine. If
we sleep in, Nigel places his paw under our
bedroom door and rattles it while meowing
loudly until one of us wakes up.
In the wee hours of
the morning, Nigel enjoys racing from room
to room, disturbing the vertical blinds (we
have a lot of them) because he likes the
loud sound they make. He was very
affectionate towards our new puppy Dio at
the outset. Now, whenever Dio prances to the
kitchen to eat, Nigel plants himself
directly on top of Dio and wraps his paws
around him while hissing. Nigel also knocks
the puppy's water bowl over when Dio tries
to drink from it. We can only get him to lay
off of bullying Dio by using the hated water
spray bottle.
